RainbowDash's POV
I decided last night that Soarin and I are just not meant to be. I mean I've tried everything from giving him special treatment, winks, and even flirting. Nothing works and I can't do this anymore. Same as Preschool. Too much pain and I need to focus on School. We are just friends a-and that's all we'll ever be. He can still call me Princess though and I'll still call him Tiger. Only because it's a friend thing. I was sitting on a bench in front of the school, 1 hour before it opens, just wanting to go inside.
"H-hey Princess," I heard him say.
"What's up, Tiger?" I asked him with a confident tone.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Uh, I."
"You..." I said twirling my hand to encourage him to continue.
What he said next shocked me so much I nearly fainted. It filled me with anger!
"Princess, would you like to go on a date with me?"
What I did next shocked me more than the question. I slapped him hard across his face and said, "You idiot! Stay away from me!" as I left him he fell to his knees crying. I was also crying.
Spitfire's POV
Soarin had told me and the others about his crush on RainbowDash that he had developed after spending time with her on the 4th of July. He had been trying to express his feeling for her since then but he's an idiot and doesn't know how. He told me and the others about asking her out today, so High, Fleet, and I decided to watch our favorite ship finally come together.
"Oh, I can't wait to see the look on her face when he asked her out!" Fleet said very excitedly, "She's going to be so happy!"
"Shhh!" I said, "We don't want them to hear us."
What happened next broke our hearts, as RainbowDash broke his.
"Princess, would you like to go on a date with me?"
She slapped him hard across his face and said, "You idiot! Stay away from me!" and ran off crying.
He fell to his knees and before I knew what I was doing, I ran up to him, the others followed and we hugged him. Once she left, he started to cry.
"W-why? I-I don't understand!" he said in between sobs.
"I don't either," I said in a comforting tone, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
Soarin's POV
I'm ready! I knew my Princess would be up and out already at the school. When I saw her again for the first time in years, I was just trying to be polite, because I couldn't exactly remember her name. But, "Princess" is no longer her 'friend nickname'! It's more than that now! The same goes for Tiger. So I decided to get up early and ask her out before anyone got there. I started to like her, in a different way, when we played video games. I got to know her better and she came out of her shell. It's never the looks that draws me to a girl, hence why Princess was just a friend nickname, but the personality. She has the personality of a Warrior Princess, plus she is beautiful. I know I said it's not the looks, but it doesn't mean she isn't beautiful.
"H-hey Princess," I said as I approached her.
"What's up Soarin?" she asked me.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Uh, I,"
"You..." she twirled her hand signaling me to go on.
"Princess, would you like to go on a date with me?"
What she did next shattered my heart into a million pieces.
She slapped me across the face and yelled, "You idiot! Stay away from me!" and ran off.
I fell to my knees, heartbroken.
Spitfire came up behind me and hugged me. At that moment I wasn't mad at her for spying. I had other things on my mind.
I managed to mutter out, "W-why? I-I don't understand!" in between tears.
"I don't either," she said trying to comfort me, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"I stayed there for a while before we had to go to class.
In class, I was silent but knew I had to pay attention. I got my rejection out of my mind by distracting myself with class. I was happy earlier, not only was I ready to ask her but I was going to get my boot off in a week. Now I don't care.
After School I went to practice, I had to much on my mind to watch the others play Frisbee and Basketball.
The coach came up to me and said, "Soarin. What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"You sure?"
"Ya, I'm sure."
"Okay then."
I went home, skipped dinner, and went straight to bed sobbing quietly into my pillow.
Rapidfire's POV
Spitfire told me about what happened to Soarin earlier today. I had most of my classes with him. He just seemed more quiet than usual. I wanted to give him his space so I'm going to talk to him about it tomorrow. I thought he would be more hurt and not care about class but he surprisingly gave it some effort. In practice, he didn't seem to be 100%. I mean he wasn't playing but usually, he cheers us on. I saw our coach ask him about it and Soarin lied. Soarin has always been good at hiding his emotions. When we got home he went straight to bed.
I need to fix this. I have to. Not only is Soarin a big part of this team, but he's also my best friend. How could the Soarin Skies get rejected? The one girl he likes used to like him and now doesn't. It doesn't make any sense! Rainbow has to be too shocked to say yes or something. I haven't seen her lately. I'll ask Spitfire to help her. Time to bring the Prince and Princess together! We have some work to do!
RainbowDash's POV
Once I left Soarin, I couldn't help but cry.
"Hey, RainbowDash! How's it going?" I heard Suprise say, "A-are you okay?"
"I'm Fine!"
"Rainbow," she said with a concerned look on her face, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I said, I'm Fine!" I repeated with a more intense tone.
"Please, I just want to help."
"S-Soarin asked me out."
"What? Isn't that a good thing?"
"N-no!"
"Why not?"
"Because I've tried so hard for many months and nothing!"
"I don't understand, he asked you out, that's isn't nothing."
"I-It's because I decided to give up last night, and NOW he decides to ask me out!" I yelled. Luckily no one was around, "He's trying to toy with my emotions!"
"I don't think-" I cut her off.
"I know! I'm just being dramatic right now!"
"It's okay to be frustrated, just let it out."
"Okay," I began, "I'm not mad at him, I'm mad at myself."
"Continue,"
"I regret saying no. I thought I was over him, but I'm not! He probably hates me now for breaking his heart."
"I dought that."
"I can't face him."
"I think-"
"No, I can't"
"I was going to say, take your time and maybe avoid him for a few days, but you can't hide from him forever!"
"I know," I said, "Thanks, Suprise."
"Anytime."
"Promise to not tell anyone."
"Promise, but I think Spitfire will find out eventually."
"I know, I need to tell her myself."
"That's the RainbowDash I know."
'Why did I say no?' I thought to myself.
Soarin's POV
I woke up on Saturday morning, thinking about what happened a few days ago. 'Why did I think she would like me? She hates romance! It's all my fault!'
"Hey, Sir" my friend FireStreak said, "You okay?"
"I'm fine," I tried to sound anything but sad, "Why?"
"Oh, just wanted to make sure," he said, "Also that it's almost noon, I wanted to see if you want breakfast."
"Thanks, but no thanks."
"But you need to eat, Sir."
"I don't want to!" I said, "I don't deserve to!"
Firestreak flinched when I punched my bed.
"Sorry, Fire, just lost my cool."
"No, it's okay Sir. I understand," he said in a comforting tone, "You want to talk about it?"
"Not really. But I guess it would be good too."
"With me or someone else?"
"Think I could talk to Rapid?"
"Yep, my thoughts exactly," he smiled, "I'll go get him."
"Ok. And Fire?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks."
"Anytime, Sir."
"Cut it out with the 'Sir' Fire."
"Why? You are the Lead Guitarist, Singer, and our best Reciever!"
"And a friend. Friends don't call each other sir."
"Right, Sorry,"
"No need to apologize."
"Alright, I'll send Rapid in."
"Thanks."
Rapidfire's POV
"Hey Soarin," I greeted my best friend, "How are you doing?"
I was really surprised that he didn't blow me off like he normally would do.
"Actually, that's what I wanted to talk about."
"It's about RainbowDash, isn't it?"
"Yep."
"I'm here to listen."
"Thanks, Rapid."
"No problem,"
"So, I just feel really angry."
"At her?"
"At myself."
"What did you do wrong?"
"I made her feel pressured and put her on the spot," he said, looking really sad, "And I feel terrible about it."
I didn't know how to respond to that.
"I'm a horrible friend!" he said starting to cry, "I don't deserve to eat, to play sports, to perform, to see her or be with her, and I definitely don't deserve to call her Princess!"
All I could do was give him a hug and say, "That's not true, Soarin. You're a great guy!"
"How so?"
"Think of all the good you do. You entertain, you're generous, funny, charming, kind, honest, loyal and above all, a good friend," I said, "You deserve to eat, to perform, to play sports, and you definitely can still call her princess."
"How can I talk to her when she hates me! She told me to never talk to her again."
"You know that's not true. She values you. It just might take some time. You have a bond that goes back to Preschool."
"You're right," he said, "I need to get myself out of the dumps and live."
"She'll forgive you!" I said, "She loves you."
"As a friend."
"You never know, that could change! Give it time. Then talk to her and tell her your sorry."
"Thanks, Rapid! You truly are my best friend!"
"No problem bro," I said, "Now how about we get you something to eat."
"Okay!"

Soarin's POV
We lost to our Arch Rival University of Phillydelphia in the Season opener in Phillydelphia 21-31. I just wasn't in it, because I kept thinking about my Princess. I'm heartbroken.
RainbowDash's POV
It had been a few weeks since you know what happened. Soarin and I haven't talked since that incident and I still feel terrible about it. I admit that I've been more distracted than usual thinking about it, feeling guilty, sad and angry at myself. Coach noticed and asked me about it. I made many excuses but I think they're starting to fail. What do I do? Why is life so hard? Oh, maybe I should text the girls.
Group Chat: Equestria Girls

R-Oops, sorry!
RD-I decided that I didn't like him anymore the night before, but I was wrong and when he asked me out, I felt like he was toying with me and I didn't know what to do. So I slapped him and left. He probably hates me now.

I should talk to him, but how can I? I don't know what to say.
Rapidfire's POV
"Soarin," I began as I walked onto the porch where Soarin was gazing at the stars.
"What's up Rapid?" he said turning to face me.
"We need to talk!"
"About?"
"You know what it's about!"
"I know. I waited too long."
"Yes, and I have one thing to say."
"What's that?"
"Talk to her please!"
Soarin's POV
"Talk to her please!"
"HOW?!?!?!" I said historically.
"It doesn't matter how. But you and she have not talked since 'it' happened," he said, "But you need to talk to her."
"I know. I just need more time."
"Why?"
"I just need to finish something."
"What?" he was starting to get frustrated. I might as well tell him.
"A-a s-song."
He just stood there with his mouth open.
"I know, it's stupid because she doesn't like sappy stuff."
"I was actually going to say that, that's genius."
"R-really?"
"Ya, when."
"Over the weekend. I just need some help."
"Anything."
"Okay, I need our band for the music, I need the girls to distract her and pretend that they're just hanging out a carnival near here, and then at Sunset I'll play a private concert for her."
"Okay, I'll go tell the girls to contact her friends and for them to have a 'Girls Night Out' and then we'll get set up."
"Thanks, Rapid."
"Anything for you dude."
Once he left I looked back at the stars, "I coming, Princess!"
